What is Pod the North?

Pod the North is the trusted resource for Canadian podcasts - the brain child from Kattie Laur, Principal and Executive Producer.

It provides strategic guidance, hands-on creative and editorial work, and community-driven initiatives. Pod the North releases a newsletter aimed at connecting the Canadian podcast community.

A commitment: In creating podcasts we are building audiences that return week after week to hear our voices. Pod the North is anti-racist and speaks against violence, injustice and inequality. We must always encourage our audiences to be educated, engaged, and to take action. Pod the North has signed the Equality in Audio Pact.
